A pair of improbable longshots lit up the board yesterday at Aqueduct, opening day of the fall meet, topped by Evening Attire, the rank outsider in the field of seven 3-year-olds for the Grade 3, $100,000 Discovery Handicap, who won by a length and paid $133.

Trained by Pat Kelly, Evening Attire was still eligible for a non-winners of one allowance, his only victory coming by a nose in a maiden race two summers back at Saratoga. In three starts this year following knee surgery over the winter, the son of Black Tie Affair finished third, fourth and sixth.

Under a ground-saving ride by Shaun Bridgmohan, Evening Attire was wrestled back off the pace set by No Show Jim and Dayton Flyer, then came shooting up the rail down the stretch to blow past odds-on favorite Street Cry in the final sixteenth, running the mile and an eighth in 1:48.3.

Street Cry, Godolphin Stable’s leading Triple Crown candidate last spring before being injured, held for second to complete a $287 exacta. Free of Love, who carried Street Cry wide turning for home, was third.

The other longshot came in the fifth race when Whata Smoothie won at a $75 mutuel. Trained by Jimmy Picou, Whata Smoothie finished eighth and ninth his first two starts at five and 5 ½ furlongs at Saratoga, beaten 12 lengths in each.

Yesterday, stretching out to a mile and a sixteenth and making his first start on turf off a pair of bullet works on grass, he led all the way under Ariel Smith to score by two lengths.
